So I just stumbled across an album the other day that I am totally enthralled with at the moment and just wanted to share. Paolo Nutini, that Scottish cutie of "New Shoes" fame, recently released his second album, Sunny Side Up, and it basically beats the pants off his first one. His style is all over the place, from pop to folk to calypso to country, but that's what makes the album so fantastic and listen-able. You know how when you get a new CD (well not the CD itself persay, but the MP3s for your iPod...not sure how many people actually go out and buy CDs anymore) you like maybe half of the songs at best and skip the other ones you don't like when you listen to it? I hate that. There aren't many albums that I've found easy and enjoyable to listen to all the way through, but I definitely can with this one. Here's a brief list of some other albums on my current rotation that are, in my opinion, easy to listen to all the way through:
Band of Horses "Everything All the Time"
Fleet Foxes "Fleet Foxes"
Bon Iver "For Emma, Forever Ago"/"Blood Bank" EP
"Away We Go" Soundtrack
"(500) Days of Summer" Soundtrack
Cat Power "The Greatest"
Either "Elizabethtown" Soundtrack (I'm absolutely OBSESSED with that movie)
Check out this video for the song "Candy" from Paolo Nutini's new album, one of the sweetest songs, and videos, I've seen in a long time:
Oh, and I just came across a great band called Mumford and Sons, give a listen to "White Blank Page" on their myspace. Awesome stuff!
Hope you all enjoyed your Wednesday! Stay classy, San Diego.
